[BUG] User settings hooks not loading in /hooks command (v1.0.51, v1.0.52)

Bug Description

User settings hooks configured in ~/.claude/settings.json are not being loaded/displayed when running the /hooks command in Claude Code versions 1.0.51 and 1.0.52.

Environment

• Platform: WSL2 (Ubuntu)
• Claude Code Version: 1.0.51 and 1.0.52
• Working Version: 1.0.48 (hooks display correctly)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure hooks in user settings using /hooks command
2. Select option 3 "User settings - Saved in at ~/.claude/settings.json"
3. Add a hook configuration (e.g., PreToolUse matcher for Write|Edit|MultiEdit)
4. Save the configuration
5. Run /hooks command again
6. Bug: Shows "No hooks configured yet" despite hooks being saved in settings file

Expected Behavior

When running /hooks after configuring user settings hooks:

• Should display configured hooks with "[User]" prefix
• Example: [User] Write|Edit|MultiEdit 2 hooks

Actual Behavior

• /hooks shows "No matchers configured yet"
• The hooks ARE correctly saved in ~/.claude/settings.json file
• Project settings (options 1 and 2) work correctly
• Only user settings (option 3) fail to load

Verification

• Confirmed hooks exist in ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Write|Edit|MultiEdit",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "..."
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Workaround

Downgrade to version 1.0.48:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@1.0.48
# or with bun:
bun install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@1.0.48

In version 1.0.48, user settings hooks are correctly loaded and displayed.

Additional Information

• This appears to be a regression introduced between v1.0.48 and v1.0.51
• Project-level hooks (options 1 and 2 in /hooks) continue to work correctly
• Only user-level hooks (~/.claude/settings.json) fail to load

Impact

Users cannot use global hooks configuration, forcing them to configure hooks per-project or remain on older versions.
